Weapons Test on U.S. Citizens?
Fox News
Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne has a new plan for U.S. non-lethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices: test them on American citizens before using them in battle.
The secretary insists domestic use would make it easier to avoid questions in the international community over any possible safety concerns and adds: "If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation, because if I hit somebody with a non-lethal weapon and they claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think that I would be vilified in the world press."
